[QUOTE="MikieG7174, post: 2971562, member: 41714"] There is no such thing as a set it and forget it scope. BDCs are very rarely accurate. Even the ones done my Leupolds custom shop for customers rifle and exact round are not perfect as the environment fluxuates too much. When looking at scopes, guys get wrapped up in glass. More important is the tracking of the turrets. Cheap scopes are cheap because their guts are cheap. If a scope wont track repeatably and movement isnt accurate, then that scope gets expensive real fast to the tune of $1 a shot. Imagine spending 1 or 2 boxes of ammo to zero every time you change ranges because the scope just wont repeat what you did on your last outing. Or fighting zero drift with every magnification change. Do yourself a favor and spend another $40 and get an SWFA 10x42 classic. It has a full 10 mils below the retical center. The turrets are in mils as well. What this means is that you zero in 2 shots because what the reticle measures (2 mil low and 1.6 right for example) for your first shot, you dial exactly that on your turrets, and be amazed that your second round is dead on. How so you ask? Because the retical is an actual mil. And the turrets dial in 10ths of mils. This optic is no jokes. It is forward and rearward braced. This means it will handle everything from a Beeman R1 supermagnum springer airgun all the way to 50BMG. And comes with a lifetime warrantee. The guts are all machined brass. NOT nylon or aluminum. You wont regret it. [/QUOTE]
